Knockabout (1979) synopsis: “Two brothers and small time crooks Yipao and Taipao convince a martial arts expert to take them on as students, completely oblivious to his sordid past.”
Starring: Yuen Biao, Ka-Yan Leung, Chia-Yung Liu, and Karl Maka
Director: Sammo Hung
This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review the kung-fu cult classic, Knockabout! A truly jaw-dropping piece of cinema from the mind of Sammo Hung, and it’s Yuen Biao’s first leading role. Also, Knockabout is Zak and Corey’s first true “karate man” movie on PAD, as Eddie Murphy would say in Trading Places lol! I mean, yes, they covered Hard Target and Cyborg, but this is on a whole other level, martial arts wise.
